I take a rickshaw to work every day, and today's ride led to an interesting conversation - I asked the driver which app he prefers between Ola, Uber, and Rapido. He said he used Uber until they introduced a daily login charge of ₹40 + commission on each ride, making his costs INR 100 per day. Ola faced backlash for a similar charge and pivoted after many auto drivers removed their app. He now prefers Rapido, which charges only ₹20 daily with no additional commission. Curious, I asked about his profits. For every ₹1000 he makes, his total costs are around ₹250-300 (including CNG), so he pockets ₹700-750. He avoids short-distance rides (<8km) but has a friend in Viman Nagar, Pune, who does short rides and makes ~₹50k, pocketing ₹38-40k (Lot of corporate offices there). He concluded, "Pata hay Uber ko App bhi maintain karna padta hay but thoda reasonable rakho, phir tum bhi kamao aur hum bhi kamayenge." ⏭️The best product insights often come from simply talking to users.

Similar thing happened to me with an Ola bike driver... He told me that Ola pays extra to bike drivers for each ride and does not charge any fee neither take any commission from them. Ola earns from the Cab rides only perhaps from Auto rides too but not sure about that.
Nice convo. Insightful 👍
